I wonder if it's false but started as a misunderstanding of a related story? A few days ago, one of Farrakhan's close friends and fellow Nation of Islam minister, Don Muhammad, died aged 87. One of the early obituaries mistakingly said he was 91 and it featured a picture of Farrakhan. The article in question was pulled, but it still appears on Google News when you search his name. I reckon someone shared this misinformation then it spread like wildfire, with a troll Twitter account also taking advantage of it.

And a buon natale to you too, drol. Nothing but coal for your moody, humourless Finnish friend though.

Who, who, who, who, and who? I must confess to skimming over your posts about third world provincial politicians so this just read as gobbledygook.

I believe her TV show with the other fat French lady was the basis for The Two Fat Ladies in the UK.

Not singling anyone out in particular, but there are some real stupid picks this year. Folk who are very old, but not at imminent risk. Not surprised this pool has gone tits up.

Absolutely!

2 peers resigned from the House of Lords on 19th: Baroness Cohen of Pimlico (wiki), 84, Labour – former BBC governor, lawyer and crime fiction author Baroness Quinn (wiki), 80, Labour – former MP and minister under Blair 2 peers resigned on 20th: Baroness Cumberlege (wiki), 81, Conservative – minister under Major Lord Haselhurst (wiki), 87, Conservative – former MP for Saffron Walden (Kemi's current constituency) from 1977 to 2017 (early an MP from 1970 to 1974 in Middleton), didn't join the HoL until 2018 so he's had a short stint! Also a Deputy Commons Speaker under Betty Boothroyd, Michael Martin and John "Ordeeeer" the Poison Dwarf Bercow. I have no knowledge of any of them being ill but worth keeping an eye on as all are 80+

I have considered all of this. However, for the vast majority of names in the TCM tribute, they're unknowns to most people – hence why they'll show a clip of say Jurassic Park or Blade Runner whilst their name and headshot runs by. For most ppl watching, we're celebrating the work, not the person – whether we consciously acknowledge that in our minds or not. If I was doing it on the basis individuals and not work though, I'd still include the likes of Roman Polanski and Woody Allen, but leave out Harvey Weinstein. At the end of the day it should be about the rule of law, not trial by media. Though arguably Polanski is only a free man because he's evaded the courts by staying in exile! The more you go into detail, the harder it becomes to rule on people because of how complicated it is. How about Kevin Spacey and Brian Singer? What do you do with them? Sure, Spacey is a free man but look at how many accusers. Morgan Freeman, Arnie Hammer – do you exclude them too? The answer is I don't think you should unless they've gone to jail for something significantly bad.

Dude – firstly, don't quote the whole post. It's really annoying for people trying to scroll through the thread. June Spencer never appeared in film. She was a radio actress, and had nothing to do with Hollywood either. Silvio Santos was a television presenter and media mogul in Brazil. Again, absolutely nothing to do with Hollywood.

Patrick Conolly-Carew, 7th Baron Carew (wiki) dead at 86. Irish hereditary peer. Member of the House of Lords from 1994 to 1999, sitting as a crossbencher. Also an Olympic equestrian, competing at the 1972 Games. Death notice.

Interesting that O. J. Simpson was not included. I guess that answers our question about Harvey Weinstein and Roman Polanski being included in future montages. I'm actually of the controversial opinion they should be included. You're giving a nod to their work more so than who they were in their personal life, and you can't just erase or forget about film history. I also note that TCM are now moving away from the Golden era in their tributes. A strong contingent of lesser known Golden Age names were all snubbed this year. Carla Balenda, Micheline Presle, Gloria Stroock, Barbra Fuller, Armando Silvestre, Evans Evans, and Yvonne Furneaux standing out. Their exclusion feels like somewhat of a betrayal given that TCM prioritise showing Golden Age movies on their network above anything else, and all of them would have no doubt appeared in films on TCM. Chad McQueen should have been in there for his role in The Karate Kid. Would've also been nice to see John Savident (for A Clockwork Orange), and Françoise Hardy and Jean-Charles Tacchella – they always seem to exclude some very notable French names. Anyway, can't include everyone. Overall, it was very well done.

And then there were 3... Would hate to be the editors who compiled BBC's We Remember due to air tomorrow at lunchtime right now...

Thank you for acknowledging how wonderful my reply was.

Well worth the bump. Thank you for your very relevant and meaningful content.

I thought this was already debunked as fake/edited? I've seen several versions now.

TCM Remembers 2024 will drop between today and Sunday. Included in the spoiler below is everyone I think who has a chance of being included. There is normally only about 80 spots though so at least 1/3 will be left out. Anyone who dies after this point is unlikely to be included.

Which reminds me, I must pick up a tin of Quality Street for the guests on Christmas Day.

I seem to recall that whole family having an attitude problem, but he was by far the worst.

There's a Legacy obit for him here. Be interesting to see if he gets a write up in any of "the big 3".

Okay, so here it is. Every artist to have a hit on the UK Singles Chart during the 1950s and 1960s. I may later do the 1970s if this thread is successful. In the meantime, I will post letter by letter and I invite all users and guests to collaborate on any information you have/find. Rules: 1) Artist must have had a hit single within the UK top 75 to be included (though the chart didn't go as high as 75 until 1978). 2) I appreciate that before February 1969, there was no official chart and that NME, Record Mirror etc. had their own charts. As such, I am using the preferred data of The Official Charts Company prior to '69. 3) As far as bands go, the members I've included appeared on the hit singles themselves, to the best of my knowledge. This is where it gets tricky - some bands had many members over the course of their history and information isn't always available for it to be clear who recorded on which hit. I will mark the acts where I'm unsure if the members I've listed are correct. 4) Orchestras, choirs and backing bands etc. won't be included - this is impractical as the research will become exhaustive and the individuals concerned are often so trivial that no information on them exists. So for an act like Ray Anthony and his Orchestra, I'll only cover Ray Anthony. 5) For bio info, same rules apply as Wikipedia. Individuals who are younger than 90 are by default listed as living if no death information is available. Acts who are dead (including groups with no living members) are highlighted in red. I've also hyperlinked all hit singles to their YouTube pages so people can enjoy the music too!
